Isocyanates are versatile electrophiles that can react with a wide range of nucleophiles to afford important organic structures. Although the reactions between isocyanates and alcohols, amines and organometallic reagents have been well established, the synthesis of amides through the decarboxylative condensation of carboxylic acids and isocyanates is less appreciated.

Inverse opal structured Pt/TiO2–MnOy photothermocatalysts for enhanced toluene degradation activity† Photothermocatalysis is gaining increasing scientific attention for its potential in alleviating the ever-worsening volatile organic compound (VOC) pollution. Herein, we fabricated inverse opal (IO) structured TiO2–MnOy photothermocatalysts whose photothermocatalytic toluene degradation performance varied significantly at different Ti-to-(Ti + Mn) ratios.

1 Introduction Despite improvements in the measures taken to cope with natural disasters, drought is still a major meteorological event that can cause severe damage to both livelihoods and socio-ecological systems. China has struggled with drought for thousands of years and several major historical drought events have directly influenced the downfall of ancient dynasties (Bi et al., 2020).
